It is with a sense of profound loss and tragedy that the members of GWAR must announce the passing of their longtime guitarist and beloved friend Cory Smoot, also known to thousands of metal fans worldwide as Flattus Maximus. Cory was found deceased this morning as the band prepared for a border crossing. There is no word as to the cause of death and the members of GWAR are completely shocked and devastated that this has occurred. At this point there is no word on arrangements and the disposition of the remainder of GWAR's current North American tour, nor are there any details regarding long-term plans. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today. We ask that our fans and the media be respectful of our request for privacy for those that have suffered this terrible loss. A full statement will be coming in the next day or so, in the meantime please give your thoughts and your prayers to Cory, his family, and all the people that love him.

We share our deepest thoughts to his family and closest friends, as well as to Gwar.

GWAR have always made this world a better place by killing off celebrities and politicians on stage during their legendary live show. Blood thirsty GWAR fans crave and expect this, and yes, your Lords and Masters make good on it nightly. The "Bloody Tour of Horror" is no exception to this as it features warty front thing Oderus Urungus and the rest of the band tearing apart Lady Gaga and former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Apparently the Sarah Palin constituents and supporters have caught wind of the nightly slaying and the political blogs and websites have been just overwhelmed with comments about Palin's untimely demise. Check out the video at http://fpro.us/1d

Is GWAR getting ready to delve into the political field even more? Will Oderus run for president? Is Sarah Palin really dead? Did Oderus fuck her corpse? Only one alien would have the answer to that question...

When reached for comment on this highly offensive slaying of Mrs. Palin, (to Republicans and tea partiers at least) possible presidential candidate and overlord Oderus gave the following statement:

"Is this what American politics has come to? We have killed every President since Reagan, regardless of party affiliation, and the proof of it is all over the net...but the right-wing tea bag numb-nuts are getting their knickers in a twist over somebody that doesn't even hold office, and in fact left her office as Alaskan governor in order to concentrate on her reality show...and is this woman actually being considered as a potential president? Why does the agenda of the right require that America be viewed as a global laughing stock? Because between Wikileaks and the attention this idiot gets, that is exactly what you are..." scoffed Oderus.

"Besides, we don't even kill her, just rip her in half, and honestly she seems to love it! Anything for attention, I suppose."

The day many thought would never come is finally upon us. Your lords and masters the one and only GWAR will be performing live...(well, taped they may have to censor some stuff out before the masses can view what the band has in store for them) tonight on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. GWAR has made numerous TV appearances throughout their 25 plus year history, but this is the first time the band will be appearing on national late night television. First FOX news, now NBC, what next...?

When asked what he thought about performing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, bellicose bass player Beefcake the Mighty grunted the following:

"As disappointed as we are that we must reschedule our attack on St. Louis, we are simply tickled shitless that we have been invited to perform on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! One can only assume that our shared insatiable lust for sex and drugs and rock & roll prompted the impish Saturday Night Live alumnus to request we attend his court! Regardless of the reason, we embrace this opportunity to enlist the millions of Late Night viewers into GWAR's legions of blood-loyal slaves! How fortunate for you all!"

Guitar player Balsac the Jaws of Death also chimed in:
"I feel like Hester Prynne on prom night! I am absolutely giddy to be performing for the crowned queen of late night, her highness, Jimmy Fallon"

This week FANGORIA.com premiered the brand new video from Intergalactic Shock Rockers GWAR. The video is for the song "Zombies, March!" which comes off of GWAR's new album "Bloody Pit of Horror" which is slated for a November 9th release on Metal Blade Records. The video was shot on location at The National in Richmond, VA by acclaimed Fangoria Director Dave McKendry. Check out the video at FANGORIA.com

GWAR's latest masterpiece "Bloody Pit of Horror" will be in stores on November 9th, but you can pre-order your copy today from the official GWAR page on the Metal Blade Records website at: http://www.metalblade.com/gwar. The landing page includes all current tour dates, GWAR footage from BOTH Gwar.tv and MetalBlade.tv, and pre-orders for "Bloody Pit of Horror" on CD, a GWAR t-shirt, or the ultimate "Bloody Pit" package that includes the CD, the GWAR t-shirt, and a 12x12 autographed cover print!

FANGORIA is proud to announce that we will be working with GWAR on their next music video. The song "Zombies, March!" will be the first video from GWAR's new album, "GWAR's Bloody Pit of Horror", which will be released on Metal Blade Records on November 9th, 2010. The video will be shot in Richmond, Virginia during September and October. Expect to see a finished product by late Fall.

FANGORIA's own David McKendry will be directing. McKendry (who just finished directing Municipal Waste's video for "Acid Sentence") is very excited to be working with this legendary group of monsters. McKendry said, "When a few of the band members approached me about directing the video, I was pretty sure they were going to kill me and take my wallet, or kill my wallet and take me (it was a hard situation to read). But apparently it was legit, and they really want me to direct a video. I had always been a huge fan of GWAR's music. Plus the constant threat of being hurled into the jaws of GorGor keeps me on my toes."

Said infernal overlord and GWAR lead singer Oderus Urungus -"When I found out we were working with FANGORIA on our new video, I immediately sacrificed 50 Norwegian babies on my Burning Altar of Syphilis. This has led to a huge reaction from the undead community; I mean they were literally coming through the walls! Indeed, I think we are going to have to have some kind of zombie try-outs...I don't want to be stuck with mostly old people and o.d.s. We are going for some real variety and everything from fresh abortions to chain-gunned Taliban members will be appearing!"

For the no doubt disturbing video, FANGORIA will be recruiting around 75 zombie extras from the Richmond, Virginia/Washington DC area. Keep checking FANGORIA.com for more details. "I love working with the undead," said GWAR bass player and sexual sadist Beefcake the Mighty, "as long as the catering is adequate."

Commented frontman Oderus Urungus : "We are going to rape the shit out of some hobbits, and I don't even care if they are humans dressed up in hobbit costumes, that shit turns me on…"

Fresh off the amazing experience that was the 2010 GWAR-B-Q, intergalactic snuff-rockers GWAR continue their relentless assault upon all humanity with the announcement of their first run of dates for this fall's "Bloody Tour of Horror". Make sure you catch GWAR this fall in support of their newest and sickest album yet, "Bloody Pit of Horror", on Metal Blade Records.

When asked about the bands brutal touring and release schedule, which would put a lesser band into the ground, Oderus said, "Nothing less than the utmost display of blatant aggression will suffice to appease the lust of our fans, especially in this, our extra violent 25th Anniversary. It is patently unfair to compare our exploits with that of other bands...they are, after all, only human..."

Tickets are available for fan club members starting Wednesday August 11th and the general public Friday August 20th and Saturday August 21st.

Catch GWAR on the "Bloody Tour Of Horror", with The Casualties, Infernaeon and Mobile Deathcamp:

After his heavily-censored 11th appearance on the late-night gab-fest Red Eye, in which he compared the smell of Jessica Parker's twat to "that of a camel-cunt", GWAR lead singer Oderus Urungus has been slated to appear once again as the shows "Interplanetary Correspondent", despite repeated calls from the Vatican to ban the long-dicked alien from appearing in public.

"Screw the Pope. He's old," quoth the warty front-thing. "I'm back where I belong, on top, well, a little left of the top, more like the side...ohhh...fuck it."

In other GWAR news, the Slave Pit, GWAR's pit of slaves, located in Richmond, Va. (because of the excellent crack and large art school), is busily preparing for the re-awakening of an ancientGWAR tradition, the GWAR-B-Que! Back in the early days of GWAR, the slaves used to throw parties in the Pit in the hopes of attracting helpless women. These parties grew in size and fury as other bands and insane artists got involved...but then just stopped happening...

But the GWAR-B-Q is back! On August 8th, 2010, at the Bike Lot in Richmond, Va.! Check www.gwarbq.com for full details, directions, and more.

Intergalactic shock-rockers GWAR are busy working on their brand-new album, GWAR's Bloody Pit of Horror, to be released this fall on Metal Blade Records.

After a triumphant European tour that included appearances at the With Full Force and Dour Festivals, Antarctic rock gods GWAR have returned to their ice-bound fortress, to drink blood and begin work on their newest and most gut-crushing album yet. That's right, right now, at the sorta halfway point of GWAR's special two-year long 25th Anniversary Slay-a-Bration, Slave Pit Inc. and Metal Blade Records are proud to announce the title of GWAR's new album...

"Our new album is called Bloody Pit of Horror," said ODERUS URUNGUS, front-thing and leading female impersonator. 'We are fully aware that there is a movie of the same title, I assure you it has nothing to do with it, save the title, which we stole from them. But you see, we're calling it "GWAR's Bloody Pit of Horror", and that's a little different, so hopefully we won't get sued!"

The new album is reportedly "heavy as fuck", and features songs like "Hail to Genocide", "Storm is Coming", and "Tick-Tits". "That's a song about a chick whose tits are covered in ticks...big fat gray puffy ones", said Oderus. A full track listing and official release date is expected soon.
